How to use nAnt to copy files to a non-domain machine

The rules are:

• a single star (*) matches zero or more characters within a path name
• a double star (**) matches zero or more characters across directory levels
• a question mark (?) matches exactly one character within a path name

Another way to think about it is double star (**) matches slash (/) but single star (*) does not.

Let's say you have the files:

1. bar.txt
2. src/bar.c
3. src/baz.c
4. src/test/bartest.c

Then the patterns:

• *.c             matches nothing (there are no .c files in the current directory)
• src/*.c     matches 2 and 3
• */*.c         matches 2 and 3 (because * only matches one level)
• **/*.c       matches 2, 3, and 4 (because ** matches any number of levels)
• bar.*         matches 1
• **/bar.*   matches 1 and 2
• **/bar*.* matches 1, 2, and 4
• src/ba?.c matches 2 and 3    

You need to run the CACLS program in windows to grant permissions to files and folders. From Nant, you can do this with the EXEC task.

Try a tag block like:

<exec program="cacls">
    <arg value="*" />
    <arg value="/G IIS_WPG:F" />
</exec>
